Deer Mushroom

Deer Mushroom
I found this one on a rotting cherry log, the other day.  The weather was below freezing and it was frozen.  I think the detritus is due the high winds the previous week when it was warm.

Deer Mushroom
The one in the image above was so frozen that I could not remove it.  This one, on the other hand, I was able to get loose.  I am making an effort to photograph the pertinent parts for ID.

Deer Mushroom Spore Print
I am collecting the spore print on a microscope slide for later examination.
